When the evening is burning

It happens every day, but sometimes we just don't notice it.
Sunset.
"It's evening, already", as we think, because it's getting dark.
And sometimes it's just the end of the play.
Today I've seen the whole play, again, I was lucky to can see it.
I love it, it's silent, it has no sound, just the colours telling.
You know... "When the sun approaches to the horizon, and its light coming through the air in longer way, it become red."
This is the definition of that I just called today "the burning sky" There were clods in the sky, and the settling sun couldn't do anything against them. And then... the light defeated the darkness for a couple of minutes, and fired up the clouds.
...then the "burning sky" started to fade, and grey came to rule the evening.
The light has lost, the noise has faded to silence, it became night.
